Cool.
Will this allow me to see all my thousands of itch.io games from that bundle? Thats all i want, not having to click on every game before I see it.
So as someone who already has the itch.io launcher thing through itch.io itself, will I have any need for this? Any UI improvements or other improvements?

Spotify, Brave, and iHeartRadio are there for when EGS launches as a competitor store in Android. Which according to them should be later on in 2021.
Selling music/podcasts within a video game store isn't really the same as a video game store within a video game store.
Not really. Now is last week of preparation of EGS vs Apple lawsuit, with court sessions starting after next week.
So they can use it as evidence that as another "EGS does it therefore Apple must do it too".
They already did it for 12% cut and changed MTXN rules on EGS to external payments and submitted argument now Apple must do so too.
Epic looking to do anything to win against Apple, no matter how vile or insincere its actions are. It's like a kid worked really hard during a summer to buy a toy and Epic just wants to take it no matter what without doing the work. They've been desperate since the very beginning.
I dislike companies like these.

The itch app is the same as the one you can download from itch itself.
Hey dawg, we put a game launcher in your game launcher so you can launch games when you're already launching games.
OP reminded me I (and a lot of us) own like 1500+ games on itch.io.

Yup. But adding all the games to your library is still a pain as far as I remember. Maybe someone found a n easy way to do it?OP reminded me I (and a lot of us) own like 1500+ games on itch.io.

It's part of Sweeney's battle against Apple. He distributes another store througn EGS because he wants Apple to distribute EGS through the App Store. The trial begins next month.
But they are also just hosting exe file for the store not all itch assets so Apple can defend themselves without too much issue. In app cases Epic Store is basically acting like browser but then again you still need to download Epic Store somehow so this whole thing looks more like a mess for users than something to help Epic at court.

At least Krita is on there. Hopefully if this takes off it results in more people giving the project money.
Yeah, this is 100% what this move is. EGS is less of a store, and more of a money pit that Epic can throw around to attempt to make what they're asking for look reasonable.
Epic's intentions with even allowing this on their store are far from pure. There are some pretty good reasons why this sort of store-ception doesn't normally happen, and Epic is absolutely trying to pretend those don't exist to support their lawsuit. The direct implications of itch.io getting onto EGS are vastly overshadowed by the potential implications of what Epic is going to use this as an argument in favor of.
You realize that one can be for this, and for improved visibility of indie games in general while at the same time have objections to Epic's other business practices, yes? It's the wonder of being able to have a rational, nuanced take on things....
You know that discoverability on Epic Store is awful and that it will get even worse over time if they don't do something? How many people even know that itch is on Epic Store? There are no separate Apps tab and they are not even featured on the front page. In a month people will forgot that it is even there. Epic can't make people spend money on their own store let alone point them to spend money on other stores.
Click on 'News'
it's right there.
On the news tab.
Up at the top of the news tab.
What part of "in a month" you dont understand? lol
In a month it wil lbe buried.
That is not how you promote product on the store. You don't put it under separate section. You put it on the front page so it is first thing your customers see.
